I'm not sure how to explain this, but here goes ...

I make videos for my YouTube channel and use Vegas practically every day. I record gameplay of old games, usually pinball, bagatelle or marble games from the 1930's to the 1980's. In my videos, I use several animated text events to keep track of scores, achievements, bonuses, etc.

I label each track event, so I know what it represents, but since I have several animated text events on the timeline, it's difficult to keep track of which event is actually selected when clicking the edit text icon on the event. While editing text, I know what I'm editing based on the text displayed and the text highlighted on the preview, but the problem is keeping track of which event on the timeline to edit next. There is no visual indication on the timeline of which text event is selected. I generally layout the events in order of what will appear on the screen and edit from top to bottom. But editing one text event, then needing to edit the next one down, I lose my place in the order since there is no visual indication on the timeline. I know this is solely the fault of my aging eyes and memory, but some indication of the event selected would be helpful.

In other words, I edit the first event, now I need to edit the second event, etc. But somewhere along the line I lose track of which to select next. Again, I know, his is solely down to my aging facilities, but a visual representation would be helpful. Something like highlighting the track name while editing that event's text or showing the name of the event or color of the event in the edit box.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can make this easier for myself? Not specific to V23, but that's what I'm currently using. The screenshot below represents a typical timeline for the videos I create.
